Legacy space specialist Catalina Holdings has announced the appointments of Claudia Ingenhoven and Sarah Ruberry as CEOs of its Swiss and Bermudian subsidiaries, respectively.
Ingenhoven will take over as head of Glacier Re from August 19th, replacing Martin Kauer, who has held the role since 2011.
Kauer has moved to Singapore where he is now CEO of Asia Capital Re (ACR), Catalina’s most recent acquisition.
Most recently, Ingenhoven served as Chief Financial Officer (CF) of iptiQ EMEA P&C, Swiss Re’s pan-European white-label P&C insurer.
Prior to her time at Swiss Re, she spent over a decade in the run-off arena in a variety of roles with AXA Liabilities Managers, including Group CFO, Head of M&A Integration and CEO of AXA LM Switzerland.
Ruberry, meanwhile, is set to take up her new position as CEO of Catalina General, Catalina’s Bermuda-based reinsurer, effective from early November.
She is a Bermuda resident and joins the company from specialty insurer StarStone, where she was Chief Risk Officer (CRO) of the US and Bermuda operations.
Ruberry succeeds Gary Haase, Catalina’s Group Chief Operating Officer, who has held the position since 2017 and will remain a director of CatGen going forward.
“The appointments of Claudia and Sarah mark important steps in the development of our Swiss and Bermudian operations,” said Chris Fagan, Chief Executive of Catalina.
“I am confident that they will be excellent successors to Martin and Gary, who I would like to thank personally for their standout contributions to Glacier Re and Catalina General respectively,” he added.
